Highlights of the 2016 Edinburgh International Book Festival
In August 2016, the Edinburgh International Book Festival welcomed over 800 writers, illustrators, poets, politicians and philosophers from 55 countries to Charlotte Square Gardens in a packed programme of passionate ideas, engaged debates and pure entertainment. Here we feature some of the highlights, along with what authors and audiences had to say about their time at the Festival.
